#Dlium Tick weed or Asian spiderflower (Cleome viscosa) is a species of plant in the Cleomaceae, an annual herbaceous plant, up to 1,6 meter high, thick and hairy stems, cylindrical in shape, widely grown in warm and humid habitats.
C. viscosa has leaves with long petioles 1.5-6 cm and glandular hairs. The leaf blade is three to five fingered, ovate to oblanceolate-elliptic, 2-6,5 cm long, 0.5-6 cm wide, green and hairy.
Yellow flowers with four crowns. The capsule is dehiscing only partially from apex to base, 30-100 mm long, 2-4 mm wide and glandular haired. Seeds are light brown, 1.2-1.8 × 1-1.2 mm and finely serrated transversely.
Crushed leaves are used to prevent beetle attacks. The leaves are used externally for wounds and ulcers. The juice of the leaves is used as a medicine to remove pus from the ear. The seeds are anthelmintic and carminative.
